Couch 111 - The Simple, Clear, and Informative Couch

To everyone who writes letters to their T...How do you start? I wrote one yesterday but it sounded like a feeble-minded person wrote it and i ripped it up. How do write about these feelings and not sound like a whiny 5 year old. I don't even discuss feeling with myself. Should I write about all feelings from last session or just about my brother.

I am sure they would not offer you something they didn't feel you were capable of. Sometimes we have to believe the good judgements of others.

I am coming to the end of paying my daughters orthodonist bill off. 3 years ago it was $4000'ish now it is $500 and they are seriously hassling me about paying that of in a lump sum. I have stuck to the agreement mostly with small lapses. I am just feeling persecuted by people today.

I mostly poem them. And then hand her a copy in session. Sometimes I email them. After the stupid 2 poems I started and scratched out but read to her anyway last time, and her response seemed to turn the heat up on my maternal transference, I told her I wasn't going to poem my feelings anymore. She said to please keep writing them. Agh.

So I wrote another one today about how I wanted to run out of there last time.

I am annoyed as he won't let me post it, I have to bring iit in but I said I wasn't going to read it to him. I am extremely ashamed to have feelings and i don';t know how to start writing them down. I don't even know what the feelings are.

I am not articulate enough to poem them.

I write them however my hand does. Sometimes they sound ridiculous and sometimes like I am wirting a friend. I give them all to her. I would just write however it comes out for you. Your t won't mind how it sounds but love that they are getting more information.

Thanks I might just close my eyes and write.

I've done that. Sometimes when I know I need to write I set a timer for 5 to 10 minutes and either type with my eyes closed or write without thinking I just let it happen. Good luck.

i like that idea ellahmae i'm going to try that too - type with my eyes closed. i tend to change things and delete things when i look at what i'm typing. i'm more nervous about my appt on saturday than about getting my tooth pulled. blech.

Unfortunately I can't touch type so if i closed my eyes there would just be garbage.

My typing teacher in Jr high taped a piece of paper over my hands so I couldn't look. I am grateful for that now because I learned quickly. I love to type still and am quite fast and accurate (well without predictive text /autocorrect anyway).

I cant get the video to load. But wow a hr with 2 on and 0-2 called? Thats yuge!

I had a horrendous afternoon. I left my purse in the cart after grocery shopping and drove off! I was gone four minutes before I realized what I had done. I peeled out back to the store (with no driver's license, car registration or anything) and the grocery baskets were empty. No, no one turned in a found purse at the store.

I was frantic. Looked all over the car, trunk, etc. then I started to realize *everything* was in my purse---a zillion dollar iPad, strong meds, bank card, all the cards u carry, checkbook...No one as going to return all my stuff! A saint, maybe. I was mentally figuring out how I needed to cancel bank account, contact social security and insurances for replacement cards....i was crashing. How am I going to physically and monetarily replace these items? I can't afford another iPad. All my doctor appointments are on the iPad. I literally don't know my schedule...or people's phone numbers...

I asked the pharmacist at the store..what do I do about my meds? I had no idea what I was supposed to do. He said the doctor would likely need me to make a police report....

good grief, it was 4pm so I raced over to my doctors, weeping, I asked the nurse, "What do I do?" I needed my nitro-stat...it was in my purse...no Ativan...it was in my purse...my pain medicine...in my purse... The nurse said, "yes, they need a police report before they can re-issue any meds..because of medication abusers taking advantage"...."Have you filed a police report yet?"

"Good grief, no, not yet!" I knew I had to ask the nurse (her) what I needed to do first, for certain...because..if I had called the police first, the doctor's office would have been closed when I was done....." Panicking!

"Well, we can't write new prescriptions today, unfortunately. Bring in the police report tomorrow morning." I'm thinking, "Damn! I can't buy them because of lack of funds plus my bank card is in my purse plus I have to cancel my bank account!

I went home to call the police. I was a slumped defeated mess, for sure. Instead, I dialed the grocery one more time.
My purse was there.
Nothing was missing.

=D

Ahhhhhhhh!
I'm so grateful. Please never let me do that again!

OMG Pre! I'm hyperventilating just reading that! So glad it worked out okay.

(((Pre))) you still have a land line??! Thats more surprising to hear, than that you have a guardian angel!

Yes, I still have a land line. I need one to connect to the heart monitor thin gee that keeps track of my pacemaker data. I read the pacemaker/ICD folks are moving toward receiving the data by other means and will not need the land line much longer.

I hyperventilated typing it, too.
thank you. It did work out. I'm amazed.

I'm still not settled down from it.

I'm glad your purse turned up, precaryous.

((pre)) I am glad you got your purse back.

my T responded to my call yesterday and was willing to see me yesterday

PRE I'm so glad you found your purse! How scary! granite I'm glad your t was able to see you how did it go?

I'm still in fear of my t being mad at me and my stomach hurts both over her, and the dental thing later today. Blah. Gotta head to work.

Have a good day, couch.

No, just need garbanzos, tahinin(sesame seed paste)' garlic, broth, lemon juice and a blender

I am both dreading seeing t saturday and hoping it gets here quickly. I think I'll ask her to just let me talk before she can say anything. I have written down what i need to say. Gah i hate this stuff.

How did it go?

Granite - good that you asked and that she responded in a positive way both I think.
